Upgrading interconnects?

I'm thinking about upgrading interconnects in my system.I'm now using MIT mi330 balanced from my cd player to my pre-amp and MIT 330 shotgun balanced from my pre-amp to my amp.All this wire was bought in the late 90s..
System:
Cd-Audio Research ref7
Preamp-Pass Labs x1
Amps-Pass Labs x600s
I would like to make a upgrade without breaking the bank'I like the Mit wire but i'm willing to try some other brands out there..Any opinions would be great..

You might be amazed at what getting rid of passive components in the signal path can do.Akin to preamps and amplifiers.These components all contribute something.Correcting phase relationships after-the-fact doesn't make sense to me.
If the speaker was designed around these type of cables,then that is a different story.

Spaz, another cable you might give a shot is Harmonic Tech magic link II - they are more dynamic than MIT and Kimber, but retain the holography and imaging you like - might be what your looking for. I find they work best as a link between preamp and amp in my system.

I thought that the network boxes act as filters.I didnt think they did any thing to phase..

Capacitors and inductors effect phase,as any electrical course will teach the student.Thus many of the equations have to do with phase angles/relationships.

Tpsonic,
When I think of "out of phase "like your saying,The imaging should be not focused and it sounds really goofy.I never got this from MiT nor any system that's wired by MIT.I'm Not following you on you statement..
